dafuge Posted January 4, 2019 Author Share Posted January 4, 2019 Kings Langley - Sky Bet League One - 2027/28 Following the success of last season, I gave the squad the chance to prove themselves in League One.Ā League Table - we were 19th after 14 games before a pair of new signings changed our season. Winning the league with a game to go was unthinkable. Checkatrade Trophy - last season we lost two group matches and qualified, this time we won two and didn't! Carabao Cup - we got the dream cup tie that took care of our finances, we even gave them a decent game. FA Cup - we went on a giant killing run, knocking out two Premier League sides to book a trip to Wembley. We lost on dramatic fashion, but the money has made a huge difference. Squad - this is mostly the squad from last season, with a few new faces. Transfers - five of these signings made an enormous difference to our team. Finances - the cup money was huge, some of which has already been put aside for new facilities. Key Player Profiles: Josh Andrews - top scorer, but found himself out of the team later on in the season. Samuel Garba - this player made a huge difference. Valdecir - the other signing who changed our season. John Swift - I honestly didn't think he'd be good enough, he's now one of our best players. Roger Brookes - he won us so many matches.

dafuge Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 Kings Langley - Sky Bet Championship - 2028/29 After three consecutive league wins we were looking forward to a proper challenge in the Championship. League Table - we pretty much topped the league for the whole season, but Brighton pushed us all the way. Carabao Cup - we were edged out in an excellent match. FA Cup - there was no big cup run this year as we lost out to Premier League Newcastle. Squad - the squad has been strengthened throughout the season so there should be enough players here capable of playing in the top flight. Transfers - my one and only cash signing turned out to be just a backup player. Finances - we've been leaking cash, but making it to the Premier League will take care of that. Key Player Profiles: Neil Edwards - this goalscorer made a huge difference. Sebastian Kovacs - I was lucky to find this replacement for Swift. Adam Kavanagh - he kept his place despite the new signings. Markos Fosteris - this new signing is our most valuable player. Stuart Coleman - one half of a solid defensive partnership.

dafuge Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 Kings Langley - Premier League - 2029/30 After four straight promotions as champions, we had made our way to the big league. The squad was going to need improving as this step up was far bigger than any other. League Table - we spent the entire season just below the big clubs (and Boro) and despite a poor finish to the season, we held on to 8th place. Carabao Cup - we played one game and it didn't go well! FA Cup - we came up short against a much stronger team. Squad - we have a number of decent players, but the squad lacks quality in too many positions for us to challenge the big clubs. Transfers - it felt like I was splashing the cash, but Ā£17.25m is nothing in this league. Finances - a combination of a borrowed ground, small contracts and limited spending helped us make a huge profit. Key Player Profiles: Florian John - the new striker made an immediate impact. Dalibor Urbanc - a bargain at Ā£200k. AdrĆan - not sure why, but he's our most valuable player. Cristian Arango - it felt wrong replacing our keeper, but my first wonderkid cost just Ā£600k. Eduardo GarcĆ©s - a January signing, hopefully he will be key next season.

League Table - we had Champions League football in the bag, but blew it on the final day of the season as we lost 2-1 to Spurs. Carabao Cup - I gave the squad players a few games here. FA Cup - the Premier League champions knocked us out. Squad - still loads of room for improvement, but we have a number of decent players. Transfers - this season I really got to splash out. Finances - moving into our own stadium limited our profits, but we still have loads of money. Key Player Profiles: Eduardo GarcƩs - had a quiet debut season but really improved this time. Ale Krijger - one of two big money AMC signings. Allan Jakobsen - yet another new keeper, but this one is something special. Marcin Adamczak - an excellent young defender. Samuel Garba - he's been a first team player since League One.

League Table - once again, we just missed out on the top four. Carabao Cup - we blew a 2-0 lead in the cup final! FA Cup - Spurs were just too good for us at Wembley. UEFA Europa League - we had a good run, but made a mess of the crucial home leg. Squad - the squad is getting close to the ideal balance. Transfers - a lot of action, which may have halted our progress. Finances - a loss, but nothing to worry about. Key Player Profiles: Vladimir Govedarica - the new signing was our top scorer, but hopefully there's more to come. Allan Jakobsen - an amazing keeper. Josef Mikolajczak - an excellent new signing. Stuart Ewen - a brilliant defender. Kevin Walton - the youth product had a decent season.

League Table - it came down to our game in hand after Chelsea had played their last game, which we narrowly won 2-1. Carabao Cup - we came up against strong opposition early on, which is no good when I want to rotate the squad. FA Cup - this was a surprise as my strongest team was beaten by Wolves. UEFA Europa League - we looked unstoppable, apart from the team we beat 6-2 in the group had other ideas. Squad - we shouldn't need many new signings as the squad is really well balanced. Transfers - I spent big on two key players. Finances - an excellent profit. Key Player Profiles: Bright Abdullahi - the big money signing has a bright future. Daniel Lawal - I had been trying to sign him for about three years, hence the huge fee. Dominik Havel - an absolute bargain at Ā£2.5m. Josef Mikolajczak - an outstanding winger. Filip Maes - I wouldn't have signed Lawal if I'd known how good Maes was going to get.

dafuge Posted March 31, 2019 Author Share Posted March 31, 2019 Kings Langley - Premier League - 2033/34 This season we had the tough task of defending our Premier League title at the same time as making our Champions League debut. League Table - we never really challenged the leaders, spending most of the season between 2nd and 5th. Community Shield - a fairly simple win for our first time in this one. Carabao Cup - we went one better than last season and lifted our first major cup. FA Cup - we lost out in a thriller with United. UEFA Champions League - our away form cost us badly as we folded at the Nou Camp. Squad - the squad is well balanced, but I still have a couple of weaker positions. Transfers - I made a profit as I improved a few squad players. Finances - we are rich. Key Player Profiles: Bright Abdullahi - top scorer again, but at some point we will not be able to afford his contract. Filip Maes - he's starting to look like our first choice winger. Mateo Pereira - hopefully there's more to come from this new signing. Vusimuzi Khuzwayo - a bargain at Ā£700k. Stuart Ewen - seems to have recovered from his bad injury last season.

League Table - we cruised to the title, the others never really challenged us. Carabao Cup - the red card didn't help, but we got hammered. FA Cup - we only conceded one goal on our way to lifting the cup. UEFA Champions League - the route to the final was favourable, but we sealed it in extra time in the final against a strong PSG side. Squad - we badly need a quality left back. Transfers - I wasted Ā£40m on a youngster only for my long term target to become available weeks later. Finances - a decent profit. Key Player Profiles: Bright Abdullahi - top scorer again, he's now our captain. Vusimuzi Khuzwayo - another one of our outstanding strikers. Robert Beale - the record signing. Daniel Lawal - he's back to being first choice. Borrachinha - a decent DM is so important.
